• Triss: A group of us from the LARP society I'm part of decided to put on a role-playing convention, catering to roleplayers of all types from tabletop to LARP, so we got in a whole load of traders and people promoting their groups and stuff. There's quite a big, active RP community in the north-east, so we thought we'd tap into that. So 'Nerd East' was born!

I love the part about the Mewtwo! Sounds awesome, though I'm not really into Lavender Town, due to the 2 Lavender Town hoaxes I heard... I'm not going' to put those up here, as you have probably already read those. (If you haven't I'll put what I remember up here if you like.)

And I'm totally cool with you putting this up on your blog, I'm so honoured! thanks! <3

And even though Pikachu isn't all that original (as you mentioned in the blog post), It's about what you do with it. Contests or badges+League, which Pokemon are to be captured, will you let him evolve, and more thing like that. (I don't really expect you to see that as a question to be answered, it would be more or less like asking for a fanfiction...)

Oh, this is such a great question!

Pokemon Yellow was my first and favourite, so I'd have to pick Kanto with Pikachu. After beating the Elite Four, I'd use the money to buy a falling-down little place outside of Lavender Town. I'd head into the city to buy cakes and tea regularly as well as to catch up on events, freaking out the townspeople because I have a freakin' Mewtwo with me.

EDIT: Promoted this question to blog level because it was too brilliant not to share with the wider readership. Hope this is cool with you!

Hello guys,

As the title suggested, I'm here with another question for you! (Please don't call me childish, I know I am, I just can't stop myself from being it. 0_o; XD)

Anyways, as for the question:

If you could be transported to the world of Pokemon (any platform, any generation.), Which place/region, and with which Pokemon would you like to explore most?

I'd choose an Igglybuff that would come to me as an egg so I can breed it myself, and the region  I'd like to explore the most would be the Orange Islands.


Roan.

Hi Joa,

It's great you came back! I'm kinda new here, and apart from Triss and EMaree, there aren't many people to talk to. So I'm really happy! 

It's sad you had to stop reading, perhaps you should find a book that you like, and just make some time for it. As an example, I always read some pages just before going to bed. 

Roan.

It has been such a long time since I came here... Actually I didn't even post anything other than my introduction! 
It's interesting looking at it and see that so much has changed since then (some things to better, others to worse): I'm currently studying Computer Science at University of Aveiro, I lost most of my reading habits, stopped playing most of online games as I used to do (not much free-time for that!), also stopped watching Naruto (I'm more into Fairy Tail now) and I'm much more addicted to K-Pop than before (and not so biased to SNSD and 2NE1)! 
What about you, how are you all doing?

*Time to finish the Programming homework I should have sent to my teacher a few days ago!*

My favorite is English breakfast in any of the common brands (Tetley, Scottish Blend, Twinings etc).

But my second favorite is Chai. Twining's Chai is nice, but I have a real thing going on for Chai lattes and I've recently found my local supermarket stocking Chai latte mixes (I think the main difference from normal Chai is the sugar). This place does a nice Vanilla mix, but I love cinnamon so I'll need to pick up their Spiced Chai for a bit of stronger flavour.

I recently found Celestial Seasoning's "Sleepytime" tea in the shops as well - keep meaning to try that one out, but I'm a milk-in-my-tea junkie and I'm not big on herbal mixes so it might take me a while to get around to it.

Hi Triss,

I havn't the slightest experience with programming yet. 

Norse myth. is pretty cool as well. Have you tried Age Of Mythology before as well? If you haven't (and you've got time), you really should. If you like I could find you some free downloads via YouTube descriptions.
And your problem with buying more and more books if you still got a whole pile left, is one that troubles me too. But I've found a solution that works a little for me. First I decide whether it's a book I'd like to read more than the rest in the pile or not. Next I'd try to find out if it's a book that's new, and that'd be easy to find again, or if it's one of those really old and good ones that are hared too find even second hand.
This usually works, but doesn't always. Daughter of Smoke and Bone skipped no.2  . But I've got to say it was an awesome book ! I hope there'll be a second installment soon.

Oooo. I like Chai, haven't tried that before though.

My favourite's got to be Yorkshire Gold. So yummy. :3

Hello new person! Welcome to the forum! 

I'm really interested in ancient mythology too - I find Norse mythology to be really cool, although Greek mythology is wonderful as well. So many stories! So much drama!

Have you done programming before? I code, but unfortunately only in PHP and Python at the moment, so I couldn't recommend a good compiler. Still, have fun learning!

I too have a huge pile of books to read, and keep making the mistake of buying more when I haven't finished my current pile yet...

Hi everyone,

I was wondering about what your favourite type of tea'd be.

Ill start off:

I actually have two types I prefer,

1. a good strong cuppa Earl Grey .
2. some bengal spice herbal tea. I don't suppose everyone knows this type of tea, so I'll post a link to the official page.   http://www.celestialseasonings.com/products/herbal-teas/bengal-spice

Hope to hear from you,

Roan.
